Annabelle texted Natalie, “You don’t understand Jeremy.”
Annabelle believed that Natalie couldn’t even begin to comprehend Jeremy’s wild
and unrestrained behavior in bed.
After a romantic candlelit dinner, Natalie and Jeremy returned home. The moment
they stepped inside, Jeremy seized Natalie in his arms for a deep kiss.
Natalie sensed his urgency and reciprocated with equal fervor, turning to hug him
back.
“We should have a daughter, as beautiful as you are,” Jeremy murmured in her ear.
“Or a son.” Natalie blushed. “A son just like you.”
Jeremy gazed into her eyes, his usual enigmatic expression replaced with a look of pure adoration. Natalie loved him deeply and completely.
“Honey, promise me you’ll never lie to me. If you ever stop loving me, just tell me.
Don’t deceive me, okay?”
His eyes darkened slightly. “Why are you saying this all of a sudden?” he inquired as
he carried her upstairs.
“The movie I watched today made me so mad!” Natalie exclaimed. “The husband cheated on his wife and then blamed her for everything. It was awful!”
“Couples need honesty in their relationship, no matter what,” she continued. “We can work through anything together, but lying is a dealbreaker for me.” The movie had left a strong impression on her.
She wanted Jeremy to explain his earlier lie. He could have been honest, even if he just wanted some alone time.
Jeremy lowered his head and gazed deeply at Natalie. Finally, under Natalie’s expectant gaze, he said in a low voice, “Okay, I promise I won’t deceive you.”

He silenced any further questions with another kiss, his expertise quickly leaving Natalie breathless. Despite her usual quick mood swings, she became lost in his
embrace.
Just as they reached the top of the stairs, a sharp ringtone pierced the air. It was
Jeremy’s work phone.
Natalie, catching her breath, said, “It must be important for your company to call so late. It’s probably work. You should answer it. I was just about to take a shower anyway. I’m covered in food and don’t exactly smell amazing.”
The ringing stopped.
Jeremy’s gaze intensified, his eyes holding hers captive. “I can’t wait,” he said huskily.
Taking a deep breath, Natalie flushed as his stare a little too much to handle now. She knew he wasn’t lying; he was on the verge of losing control.
As she reached for his neck, the phone blared back to life.
If it weren’t urgent, they wouldn’t have called twice. Upon realizing that, Jeremy reached for his phone. “This had better be important.”
“Mr. Hughes, there’s been a terrible accident!” a frantic voice reported. “One of our factories in Yley City had an incident. Five people are dead.”
Jeremy sat up abruptly. “I’ll head to the company now.”
Overhearing the conversation, Natalie couldn’t help but worry. “What happened?”
Five deaths were a serious matter.
“Don’t worry,” Jeremy soothed. “I’ll handle it. I might need to travel to Yley City for a few days.”
Natalie nodded. “Okay, please be careful.”
Jeremy ruffled her hair affectionately, humming in response.
Natalie grabbed her phone and searched for news about the Yley City incident after Jeremy left, hoping to find something online.
